So last week was odd. People lost their minds on our Facebook page saying it was too early to talk about a No. 1 seed. Some even went so far as to say we were causing a distraction to the team and it would be our fault if things fell apart. That’s probably our Purdue PTSD at work. I admit, mine is pretty bad. Even in the midst of this run the team is on right now I can’t help but fear the eventual banana peel.
Why is this? Why are we conditioned to feel this way? It probably stems from it being a cross-sport thing for so long.
